The Bihar elections are set to get underway from October 28 and will continue till November 7 in three phases.
On Wednesday, Patna was in the thick of things with Sushant’s choreographer-friend Ganesh Hiwarkar and others holding a march seeking justice for Sushant amid the multi-agency probe into his death. The events were to mark four months of his death.
Neeraj Kumar Singh has been among the members of the family at the forefront of the fight against justice. He had hit out at the Mumbai Police investigation and sought a CBI investigation at the beginning of the case and later slammed the accused like Rhea Chakraborty as the family got an FIR registered. He had even sent a legal notice to Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut over the comments made against the family.
In the latest development, the CBI has clarified that the investigation was still going on, as it hit out at the ‘speculative reports.’
